that's from chuck schumer, new york senior senator. there's about 1600 people out on the vip stand there, which is a lot of vips. they start building the stand there outside the viewing steps well before the election. they start preparing for these things even before we know who the president is that is going to be i inaugurated. this is the day we celebrate democracy with more ceremony than any other time in this country. and it seems like it gets bigger ever year. it does not get bigger ever year, it is always big, but there's nothing else like this in which we celebrate our governance. we celebrate this every four years. >> i treasure american history. it was 1793 and up on that hill, it is called jenkins hill before it was called the capitol, the men who defeated the army, george washington, with a french immigrant named pierre, looked down over the swampland, and like the two characters and the producers in a broadway play, they looked down and said, now here, we have a carriageway here to connect the perfect pedestal for the buil

senator chuck schumer new york led seven of his senate colleagues in announcing a bipartisan plan for immigration reform today. they want the proposal to be pushed through the senate this spring. >> for the first time ever, there is more political risk in opposing immigration reform than in supporting it. >> the plan is a common sense approach to give 11 million undocumented workers in this country a chance to become citizens without fearing deportation. >> if you got up this morning and had fruits for breakfast, it was probably picked by the bent back of an immigrant worker. if you slept in a hotel or motel of the nation, you probably had your room done by an immigrant worker. >> the problem is in the past the republicans have screamed amnesty whenever immigration reform comes up. this process is not automatic amnesty. the senators are calling it a tough but fair path to citizenship. an undocumented worker must complete a background check and be clear of any felony charges. they must pay any fines and any back taxes. there is a requirement to learn english and american civics over th

chuck schumer and others said tough but fair, they want to emphasize the tough, enforcing it. president obama has been as tough on our southern border as any president has ever been. >> you know, exactly, the president established in the first term being very tough on border, more so than george w. bush. and the constant talk of being tough, that gets the republicans to sign on to the bill. the enforcement part of it is already built in, this administration is already doing it. what is needed now is a sane path to legalization, which the president, the difference between him now and republicans and people like marco rubio are complaining, the republicans are making it like probation, it doesn't make sense, these are people already here, working paying taxes, sales taxes, et cetera, whose children are in school. if it is all about keeping families together at the end of the day republicans understand they're going to have to do this. it is just a matter of what you have to put in there language-wise to make it palatable to enough senate republicans to make it pass. >> let's hea

schumer as the new odd couple in the senate and marco rubio joining in. is this a rare, but brief, bipartisanship in the senate, or might this thing actually yield comprehensive immigration reform? >> at the end of the day, i think we will get comprehensive immigration reform. i think it's propelled as a result of the election. this, again, is partisan politics, but one of the partisans understanding that this is a question of survival. and good news of that is that this is going to produce some common sense legislation that should have already been produced, but for the extremists on this issue. it's common sense to limit the number of bullets in a clip. it's common sense to do a criminal background check, and it's common sense that guns like ak-47s are for killing, not for hunting. >> but, you know, one of the positive aspects, i think, of the coming together around immigration and some of the other debates that we're having, the agreement on rules in the senate, is that sends a very strong message to the public who want us to work together, and i think
